We are a growing community of satire writers hell-bent on doing something — maybe even some good. But, hey, don't take our word for it. Find time to visit, uh?
Hola amigos. Send us your satirical—or otherwise hilarious—articles today. We accept all kinds of formats: essays, news lampoons, poems, speeches, song lyrics, and so on and so forth. Email submissions to [email protected] and [email protected]. 📨
You hear fuel price is dropping by ₦10 and instead of relaxing, you rush to fill your tank and your two yellow jerrycans — because you know it’s only a matter of time before they “correct the mistake.” It’s not a celebration. It’s preparation. punocracy.com/diagnosis-hope…
They mention tax reforms and instead of asking what it means, you instinctively say, “It will not affect me — I’m already poor.” Your coping mechanism is silence and low expectations. punocracy.com/diagnosis-hope…

Above all, you must be happy. All the time. If you’re sad, don’t show it; people might say you’re negative. If you’re overwhelmed, just call it a down moment. Do some yoga, light a candle, write gratitude in your journal and keep it moving. punocracy.com/how-to-have-it…
You're not allowed to be confused because confusion is for unserious people. You must find a high-paying job, even if the only work experience you have is editing your friends’ CVs and Canva flyers for your cousin’s catering business. By: @Fatima_Mahutaa punocracy.com/how-to-have-it…
It is often said that governance is about roads, security, & economic growth, but that is the thinking of mere mortals. True immortality is not only built with cement and policy; it is also constructed with plaques, marble signs, and rebranded signposts. punocracy.com/how-to-be-immo…
A monument does not become national until it answers to a name worthy of national awakening, preferably in capital letters. by: @themuslaw 🧭 punocracy.com/how-to-be-immo…
In Nigerian films, everyone is either a villain with lipstick or a saint with trauma. You get five minutes of their childhood before something explodes. Someone is poor and pregnant. Or rich and wicked. — by @earth2tomi 🪷 punocracy.com/the-films-we-w…
You know how many beautiful stories you can tell in university alone? But no. Instead, Nollywood hears university and immediately downloads cult, sugar daddy, strike, and aristo. punocracy.com/the-films-we-w…
You could read about that man of God in Armani suits who insists he lives by faith. There is a private jet, a fleet of expensive cars, a large church auditorium, and a fat bank account. It’s all thanks to living by faith, he would tell you. punocracy.com/we-have-a-mira…
Try to go to church every Sunday and see how people dance. You would smile as you wonder – from the little you know – where the joy is. The joke is on you. We have the potentials, and there is joy in potentials; this is the miracle. punocracy.com/we-have-a-mira…
Men need to learn that their true power comes from serving. Cooking, cleaning and not having a life outside your family may not feel like a lot but it is the fabric that holds the world together. punocracy.com/the-way-to-a-w…
If you don’t take your duties seriously, do not blame your wife if she looks elsewhere. Don’t let another man snatch your wife’s attention by doing what you failed to do. punocracy.com/the-way-to-a-w…
